The Northern Ireland vaccination programme is a GP (doctor) led programme.

Anyone registered with a GP in NI (e.g. a cross-border worker) and therefore entitled to access health services in NI will be eligible to receive the vaccine in Northern Ireland.   They should be invited to receive the vaccine in due course as the GP reaches their priority group.

Alternatively they can book an appointment at one of the regional vaccination centres if they

• have a Northern Ireland HSC number
• are registered with a Northern Ireland GP
• can produce photographic ID

Individuals who book an appointment online but cannot prove their eligibility will be turned away at the vaccination centre. This includes cross-border workers who live in the south and work in NI but have not registered with a GP in NI.
